April showers mean spring is here (or at least nearby), so let’s turn up the heat with more roller derby action! This time, the Foxy Rollers will meet up with the Deathbridge Derby Dames on the track at another fully licensed event at the Cypress Centre.

What is Dragon Boating?: Dragon Boating was traditionally performed at Ancient Chinese Festivals, and features a long thin boat equipped with an impressive decorated dragon’s head on the boat’s front. Today it is a competitive worldwide sport, with 20 paddlers, one drummer to keep time and provide motivation, and one steersperson to keep the boat going in a straight line. The goal is to race across the finish line to win, all while being involved in a sport of cooperation and teamwork. Anyone can participate – there have been participants in their 70’s paddling!

How many are needed?: A Team consists of between 16-22 people
